Chapter 282 - Beasts In Reality!
{The Air Palm Strike Skill has now been integrated into the host's mind and body. This Skill required a minimum of 2 IESP and EESP to activate, and just like the rest of the host's skills, you can use more energy to increase the power of the attack} stated Ava within Adam's mind.
As she said that, Adam felt his entire body tingle for an instant and when he thought about the Air Palm Strike Skill, he felt like he could use it off of only his instinct and didn't actually need to use the method.
As long as he intended to use the skill and poured enough energy through that intention, his body would move and use the skill without thinking.
{The Air Palm Strike Skill that your master uses is different and inferior to the one that the host has gained. The host's skills do not have ranks or grades and are unique skills that can be used on small scales, or very large scales depending on the amount of energy used through them} said Ava.
{The system's version of the skill can be instantly activated and is very similar to your master's version of the skill, however, your master releases a beam of Internal Energy and doesn't actually use the air. It must be because your master didn't have the chance to continue to learn the full version of the skill and had to improvise the rest of the skill} continued Ava, surprising Adam who hadn't realised that.
[I love you system. You make everything so much easier] said Adam within his mind.
Hearing that, Ava, who was technically the system, blushed and became flustered, causing Adam who could sense that to laugh.
Moving on from what she said, Ava continued what he was saying while Adam was laughing to himself.
{When the host activates the Air Palm Strike Skill, the host's palm will be coated with Internal Energy and will release a burst of Internal Energy that will launch a beam of air rather than a beam of energy. This makes the attack more effective as it can also be used for things other than attacking and also makes the attack harder to detect, sense and avoid. Also when compared to your master's version of the skill, it has an overall higher penetrative power and speed} summarised Ava.
Hearing that Adam was excited to use the skill, but before that, he was hungry and tired from the entire day of training, so wanted something to eat.
Just as he thought that, his master brought him the same food that he would usually bring him and Adam began to wolf it down, despite not knowing what it was.
His master sat on a chair outside the gravity training room then asked, "Are you not going to ask what I am bringing you to eat?"
"Um. Why don't you tell me?" answered Adam while continuing to eat hungrily.
Adam had no reason to act reserved with his master and continued eating while his master finally told him what he was eating.
"You are eating the meat of boar beasts that I have been nurturing" revealed his master, causing Adam to gasp and choke on his food.
After coughing wildly, Adam looked at his master in shock and it was the first time that he had heard someone mention beasts outside of the system.
Adam thought that beasts might be something that were unique to the Dungeon System and that there weren't any in reality, but it seemed as though he was mistaken.
"Why are you so shocked? Beasts are just animals that have cultivated, but in their own way. Their method of cultivation and the results are quite different to that of humans, but the overall concept is the same. If humans can cultivate, why wouldn't animals be able to cultivate?" said his master.
Adam calmed down and just like his master it was something that he should have expected, but still, he couldn't help but worry about beasts attacking and eating innocent people around the world after having to fight vicious beasts in the dungeon each night.
"You don't have to worry, it is normal to be afraid of beasts after never coming across them. Beasts are much rarer than you think and will only be found in areas with dense energy that are usually due to treasures or special cases, meaning it is almost impossible to find a beast that will be a threat to people in a city" said his master, causing Adam to chuckle slightly.
[Me, scared of beasts. I have killed so many beasts in my sleep I have lost count] he thought to himself with a smirk.
Seeing his expression, his master was confused, but continued what he was saying, "The world is vast, but at the same time for a cultivator, it isn't that large. There are many hidden treasures and mysteries that you will come across on your journey and I will leave them for you to explore"
"It was quite easy to nurture the boar beasts. I just gathered boars and formed my own farm and placed them in a room that I had an array inside that drew in energy. Over the years they have become extremely large and powerful beasts that I have to use my full power against to slaughter, but their meat is very beneficial to the body despite its bland taste and mushy texture" explained his master.
Hearing that, Adam was curious whether other beasts that he had come across in the dungeon could be found in reality and whether or not he would use his Unique Collector Skill to gather their beast races.
While wondering that, Adam remembered something that he had wanted to ask his master while they were talking, but had never had the chance to do so.
"You spoke of a partner that also knew of your past. Can you tell me who she is or was?" asked Adam, who couldn't suppress his curiosity.
